Breitling B-2 Questions

[Kos]

I just bought my second Breitling, a B-2 model. What a great watch! This is now a discontinued model and I can't seem to find anything about it other that what is written in the manual. I bought it because of the 10 minute register which is easier to read when racing sailboats. Hard to read the 30 minute ones and the watch has a reasonable water rating of 100 meters.
I take it these models were not that popular. What's up.

I don't know about not popular. I love mine.

As has been said in other threads, popularity doesn't seem to come into it; take a look at the B-2s electric cousin, the B-1.

Look at it this way, you managed to get a Breitling that will rapidly become a 'classic'!

Enjoy!

I sure like mine, and I know Todd likes his.

I do. And if Ron ever teaches me how to use this darn Rebel XT I can post some decent pics.

Did you pick up a tripod along with the camera Todd? About $20 will get you all the tripod you need to shoot watches. Then point the darn thing, put it on auto and see what happens . Can't be worse then my nasty little efforts.
Just figure out where the macro setting is switched on and you're set.

PS. I got so carried away coaching I posted completely OT images to the B-2 theme of this thread. Mia culpa mia culpa.

Thanks,
I 'll post a pic soon. The silver dial is hard to appreciate in a photo though, it just doesn't do it justice.

I agree, just send me the watch so I can appreciate it even more

Kind regards,
